The Lagos Lawn Tennis Club has donated a total of N5M to the Lagos State government for the fight against covid-19 pandemic in the country.
Presenting the cheque to Kola Peregrino in Ikeja, GM, Lagos State Printing Corporation, who stood in for the Lagos State government, president of the club, Ademola Akin-Taylor said the cheque was the club’s widow’s mite towards state’s battle against the rampaging Covid-19.
He stated,
" We are very impressed with Lagos State and the governor, who is one of our patrons; so automatically, we have to support him in his fight against the virus".
However, he added that the club considered the gesture more pertinent because the state, as its host, has always supported it, especially by staging its annual Governor’s Cup tennis tournament in its facility.
A member of the club’s Covid-19 fundraising committee, Gboyega Marinho commended members for their generosity: “It was a wonderful job by all members of the club, who contributed from N5000, to N10,000, to N200,000 to N1million to ensure that the sum of N5million was recognised.”
